'''Commander''' can be a general term for the overall leader of a military force, or an actual rank.
The [[Imperial Guard]] has the [[Lord Commander Solar Macharius]]. Chapter Masters of the [[Adeptus Astartes]] are often referred to as Chapter Commanders. The overall leader of a specific crusade or battle action can be referred to as the Force Commander (whatever his actual rank is).
Space Marines have a choice of two commanders, [[Space Marine Master|Master]]s or [[Space Marine Captain|Captain]]s. There was also the rank of [[Force Commander]] in 3rd edition<sup>2</sup>, however this has since been removed from use with the release of the 4th edition Space Marine codex.
